Italian Nationals - Bora causes strong NE winds

Our patience is being tested at the Italian Nationals. Day after day, the weather forecast predicts the winds to die down the next day, but the Bora keeps blowing strong and it looks like we will only have had 2 tasks... Yesterday, we were sent up to Tre Pizzi, although our chances to fly were nil. Organizer psychology: you have to try everything to try to have a task. Let's see what today's decision will be, since the weather forecast is exactly the same: no flying where we are, while the rest of Italy has good weather. Quite frustrating.

I think it's time to head to Slovenia or the southern Alps. At least there will be 2 flying days over there...
